Tony DeSare Trio May 19, 2012

Swing dance, sip a martini and "chill" with one of the country's hottest young singer/songwriters today.
Tony DeSare brings his own fresh take on memorable standards made famous by singers such as Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett and Mel Torme, while seamlessly adding originals and surprising contemporaries.

"With his dark hair, bright brown eyes and toothpaste smile that rarely fades," raved The New York Times, "DeSare is one of the most promising young male performers. He is a Sinatra acolyte in his early 30s who sings Prince as well as Johnny Mercer."

Tony DeSare performs with infectious joy, wry playfulness, and robust musicality. His takes on classic standards and sophisticated original compositions have earned him a reputation as one of country's hottest young singer/pianists. His sound is romantic, swinging and sensual, but what sets Tony apart is his ability to write original material that sounds fresh and at the same time blends seamlessly with the Great American Songbook.

Tony has the capability to glide from a standard by George Gershwin to a contemporary classic by Bob Dylan or Phil Collins to one of his inventive original songs with ease.
